HMRC Website – RTI Guidance

HMRC are continuing with their program of change to update the guidance held on their website on the subject of RTI.

As a result, several changes are being made to the RTI pages on the HMRC website. The changes are being implemented in three stages:

Friday 25th January – basic changes to the RTI home page
Tuesday 5 February – changes to the RTI online guidance went live
Beginning of April – PAYE and RTI guidance merged into one online product
The first two changes have already taken place.

The redesigned RTI homepage aims to reflect the fact that reporting PAYE in real time can be very straightforward. From this page you can see that there are only a few steps to follow. There is also a link on this page to the full RTI index.

From Tuesday 5 Feb:

RTI web pages which have edited, revised and updated in light of extensive user testing to ensure they are clearer and easier to understand
A simplified site – with duplicated information or pages removed
Increased prominence for the software downloads page so that it is much clearer – with the list of software at the top of the page
All RTI pages will be fully searchable from anywhere on the HMRC website and Google
Working links throughout the pages
RTI promotional slots throughout PAYE pages and on some HMRC pages
By early April, you can expect to see:

A further simplified site – with Business As Usual PAYE pages and RTI PAYE pages merged
Advert for RTI on the HMRC homepage
